5 bedroom character property for sale

An exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial property situated it the beautiful, rural countryside of Hutton Roof. Formerly a thriving public house, this five bedroomed, detached residence, with two attic rooms previously used as bedrooms in the annexe, sits within a plot of approx. an acre with an excellent workshop/garage and expansive gardens.

The Horseshoe Inn ceased trading as a public house approximately seventeen years ago, and although now currently used for private means, the property is still a commercial entity and could present an ideal prospect for those looking to acquire a property with the challenge to reinstate as a public house/restaurant business.

The property extends over two floors, although a cellar remains in the bar area of the generous living space, with accommodation briefly comprising the living area/bar, dining room, kitchen and utility room. To the first floor, the original building houses five bedrooms, three of which are en-suite and two which are served by a dual-access bathroom, along with a useful laundry cupboard.

Furthermore, the adjoining annexe provides a living/dining room, wet room/utility and kitchen to the ground floor, with two attic rooms - currently utilised as bedrooms but could be used for a variety of purposes.

An integral garage forms part of the extension housing the annexe and can be accessed either via external doors or an internal door from the annexe kitchen. In addition to this, there is a substantial detached garage/workshop situated within the garden grounds.

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with established trees, hedgerow and shrubbery.

The location of this property is really quite convenient, being on the outskirts of the Lake District National Park, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the market town of Penrith only approx. 11 miles away. For those wishing to commute there is easy access to the M6 and to the A66 trunk road. The lovely Eden Valley, Solway Coast, the Pennines, Hadrians Wall, Yorkshire Dales National Park and border to Scotland are all within easy driving distance.

Mains electricity & water; septic tank drainage; oil central heating, LPG supply for cooker; majority of the windows are double glazed; telephone & broadband connections installed subject to BT regulations. Please note: The mention of any appliances/services within these particulars does not imply that they are in full and efficient working order.

The Horse Shoe Inn can be located using the postcode CA11 0XS and identified by a PFK 'For Sale' board or alternatively by using What3Words///rural.parade.goat
